Anyone heard of a bank denying someone a secured credit card because of a bankruptcy?

I was told by my bank that my husband wouldn't be able to get a secured credit card because he his bankruptcy was still on his credit report??? That doesn't make any sense to me how is he build his credit back up if they wont give him a regular credit card and now we find out not even a secured credit card? I thought that's why people who file bankruptcy have to get secured credit cards.
